Natrang presented a scintillating performance of the play ‘Teen Apaahij’ in Hindi, written by Dr. Vipin Kumar Aggarwal under the direction of Neeraj Kant. Speaking on the occasion Director Natrang Padmashree Balwant Thakur said that such intellectual plays written by the top writers of the country carry immense value both for the performers as well as the spectators. Its performance and viewing should be encouraged by all means to create a healthy literary and cultural environment in the city.

The play ‘Teen Apaahij’ set at a crossroad, three characters Kallu, Khallu and Gallu are shown sitting under a lamp post doing nothing and just passing comments on everything. In a highly symbolic manner, the playwright has tried to expose the directionless system be it political, social or spiritual. This sickening system has rendered the youth of this country not only helpless but also has turned them handicapped. The infection of sadistic corruption has entered into our thoughts and this poison will never allow any new thought, revolution and initiative to occur in our minds. The three characters in the play communicate with each other in an incoherent manner and nothing matters to the audience. Yet, they constantly have the feeling that there is something to what is happening around us. The meaning of freedom, the useless speeches of the leaders, Indianness, our country, language, class, all are debated and it seems to be aimless even though everything is necessary. Passivity, meaninglessness, confusion, fatigue etc. of a large section of the society are pushing this society and the country towards collective disability. In fact, the author wants to show that in the process of becoming modern, the society today is forgetting its human nature and has reached the era of disability.
The three characters were excellently played by Pawan Verma, Aryan Sharma,and Kartik Kumar. They were supported by Krishay Bhatia as Drumbeater and Kushal Bhat as Cyclewala. The lights of the play were designed and executed by Neeraj Kant whereas the sound was scored by Kushal Bhat. The show was coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen.
